Publisher: United States Geological Survey Online_Linkage: http://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/2007/2967/ Description: Abstract: The valley of the Ohio River is filled with alluvium and outwash (unit Qal), which total 33-39 m thick under the land surface in the southeast part of the West Franklin quadrangle in Indiana, and 30.5-35 m thick under Diamond Island in the southwest corner of the quadrangle. The deposits are chiefly fine- to medium-grained, lithic quartzose sand, interbedded by lenses of clay, clayey silt, silt, coarse sand, granules, and gravel. Although grain size of the river alluvium varies widely, in general it fines upward—being gravelly sand to sandy gravel in the lower part, mainly sand in the middle part, and silty and clayey in the upper part (Holocene). The middle and lower parts probably accumulated during the Wisconsin Episode (late Pleistocene). The sandy middle part contains interbeds of clay, silt, and minor gravel. At the base is highly consolidated mud (silt and clay), sand, and gravel 2-10 m thick. This unit may be valley train that predates the Wisconsin Episode. Creek alluvium (unit Qa) is silt, clayey silt, and subordinate intercalated fine sand, granules, and pebbles; the coarser grains are generally concentrated in the basal 1-2 m of the deposit. Lenses and beds of clay are present locally. Fossil wood collected from an auger hole in the alluvial deposits of Little Creek, at depths of 10.6 m and 6.4 m, were dated 16,650±50 and 11,120±40 radiocarbon years, respectively. Probable lacustrine terrace silt and clay (Qlt), so- called slackwater-lake or backwater deposits, form deposits 12-22 m thick in the lowest reaches of tributary creeks to the Ohio River. The surfaces of the lacustrine deposits are terraces a few meters higher than the modern creek flood plains. Covering the bedrock upland is loess (Ql) 3-7.5 m thick, deposited about 22,000-12,000 years before present. Most surficial deposits in the quadrangle are probably no older than about 45,000 yrs. Lithologic logs, shear-wave velocities, and other cone penetrometer data are used to interpret depositional environments and geologic history of the alluvium and lacustrine deposits. Purpose: This map, which includes western Evansville, Ind., serves several purposes. It is a useful tool for assessing seismic risk and for urban planning, it conveys geologic history, and it locates aggregate resources. The map can help seismologists determine places where the surficial deposits may tend to liquefy and (or) to amplify ground motions during strong earthquakes. Such responses to shaking are related to the characteristics of the geological materials and topographic position, which the map depicts. The geologic map is an element in the cooperative program between the States of Indiana and Kentucky and the U.S. Geological Survey, funded by the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program and National Geologic Mapping Program of the U.S. Geological Survey.

Native_Data_Set_Environment: Windows_XP, Intel ARC/INFO version 9.1 Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Data were entered and checked by the geologists who made the field observations and compilation. The attributes of this geospatial data set consist of text identifiers and numeric codes that indicate the identity of the geologic unit or type of geologic feature, and determine how each feature is colored or symbolized. To check the attribute accuracy, a color check plot was visually compared to the geologists' original compilation. Discrepancies between the digital geospatial data set and the original analog compilation were corrected as needed. Machine-created listings of unique attribute values were used to identify spelling errors or other inconsistencies, and corrections were made as needed. This map has been thoroughly reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature. Logical_Consistency_Report: Map elements were visually checked for overshoots, undershoots, duplicate features, polygon closure, and other errors by the authors and by the GIS technician(s) who created the digital database. Automated (ArcInfo) routines were also used to check the databases for polygon label errors, line or point attribution errors, sliver polygons, dangling arcs, intersection errors, and projection information. Check plots of the map were reviewed by another geologist and cartographer for consistency with basic geologic principles and general conformity to USGS mapping standards. Completeness_Report: No features that could be accurately represented at a scale of 1:24,000 were eliminated or generalized. The smallest area represented is approximately 95 square meters. All geospatial database elements are attributed. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Most digitized positions on the map that depict distinct contacts between geologic units in the field are estimated to be within 50 m of the actual contact on the land in most instances. Boundaries (lines) between Quaternary units (for example, terrace gravels) that correspond closely to distinct edges of landforms (for example, river terraces) are of comparable accuracy. Boundaries (lines) between some Quaternary units, such as eolian deposits and broad alluvial aprons, are approximately located within an gradational zone of perhaps 100 m width between them. Horizontal positional accuracy is tested by visual comparison of hard copy test plots to source maps or comparing locations of data on a computer monitor to other data layers in the same geographic area. The database contains elevation data on the buried bedrock surface that was derived from previous reports. Accuracy of these data indirectly depends on accuracy of the base maps on which the original source geologic maps were compiled. These base maps were made by the U.S. Geological Survey, which routinely checks them for compliance with the National Map Accuracy Standards. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Auger hole depth data are are estimated to be within 3 ft of actual elevation. Cone penetrometer depth data is estimated to be within 10 cm of actual elevation. Buried bedrock surface elevation data are estimated to be within 3 ft of actual elevation.
